Not only do they typically end up damaged in the inevitable downpour of rain but regular tents offer little or no protection for your possessions.

However, one festival trend that solves all these problems, albeit for a price, is steadily on the rise – glamping.

Ranging from yurts to tipis and even cottages on wheels, the modern festival-goer now has the option to sleep peacefully in an actual bed as opposed to a sleeping bag, while they can get clean courtesy of a hot shower rather than using wet wipes and dry shampoo.

Some of Lester's customers admitted they were pleased their tipis withstood the torrential rain that swept across the festival but did not consider the glamping option to be all that "glamorous" after all.

One festival-goer, who had opted to stay in a Podpad from a company co-owned by Robbie Falconer, noted it was typically older customers who choose to glamp, as opposed to younger guests.

The happy glamper said: "When you're 16, you can just sleep on a field on a plastic bag and you don't care if you're dirty but the older you get... you want a good night's sleep so you can enjoy the day."
